How to write RAMS in the Document Creator
This guide is for Authors in organisations with the document creation module. The Document Creator lets you write a RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) directly in Intuety, with recommendations from your standards, instead of uploading a file. It is a separate feature from Guided RAMS.
Who can use this?
- Authors, if your organisation has the document creation module. To turn it on, contact Intuety support.
Before you start
- Start creating a job. See How to create a job and upload RAMS (Link).
How do I open the Document Creator?
- In the create job steps, at Upload or Create RAMS, select Create RAMS.
- Choose Blank Document or a template.
- The Document Creator opens.
What do the Document Creator buttons do?
- Auto-save: turns automatic saving on or off.
- Import: Import Word (.docx) or Import PDF to bring in existing content.
- Export: Export PDF or Export Word (.doc).
- Save Draft: saves your work without publishing.
- Publish: finishes the document. You are asked "Are you sure you want to publish this document?"
- History: shows the Version history, a record of who edited the document and when (Created, Edited, Saved, Published). Select Refresh to update it. You cannot restore older versions from here.
How do I use the Toolbox?
The Toolbox on the side has tabs:
- Search recommendations: search by activity or risk and add recommended controls. Results show High, Medium or Low priority, and "In your standards" when they come from your organisation's documents. You can also generate a safe system of work (SSOW) with Generate SSOW.
- SSOW, Project, Risk assessment, Comments and Lists.
How do I edit the document?
- Add tables. Right-click a table to add rows or columns, Fill from list, or Fill column below.
- Add or delete pages, and switch between portrait and landscape.
- Insert merge fields, add comments, use Dictate to speak your text, or Read aloud to hear it.
- When Intuety spots a missing control it shows "An extra thought from Intuety". Select Add to controls or Not now.
What happens next?
When you select Publish, the RAMS is attached to the job and you can continue the create job steps.
Common questions
- Can I restore an earlier version? No. History is a read-only record.
- Did my work save? If Auto-save is off, select Save Draft.
